Recently when in the bath i noticed a red spot on my stomach, and fealt really itchy i thaught nothing of it and left it but it began to become even more itchy.

The morning after i woke up scratching my stomach and noticed a few more raised red spots some with white heads but not scabby just under the skin, i then put on some sudocream and left it.

Then later that after noon i had noticed i had a few more 5 in total spreaded around my stomach not all in once place one one my hip a couple over my bellybutton and one two the left of my belly button.

These have been really itchy and now woke up this morning with one on my arm near my elbow..

Itchy Bumps

I have had the same thing...
Two small red bumps showed up on my stomach just to the right of my belly button. They were very itchy so I assumed it was some kind of insect bite. The next day another appeared and the others were even more painful and itchy.
I thought maybe they were ingrown hairs from shaving but that didn't explain the itch. I plucked the hairs and the bumps stopped itching. But they are still very red and inflammed.
It has been three days and I have about 5 more.
Also, I have three itchy bumps around my mouth. They look like pimples, with little white heads, but they are very very itchy.
I am not sure what it is...maybe scabies?
